A Blossoming Bough

A blossoming bough against the sky,

And all my blood is aleap with life,

As though glad violins went by

In wild delicious strife!

And the Suisun Hills again are green!

And I am a boy in the canyons deep,

Where the gray sycamores flicker and lean,

And waters plunge and sleep.

A light, quick wind blows into my heart,
